The scene is a beach at sunset, with waves gently rolling in and breaking on a pebble-covered shore. The horizon is painted with a gradient of colors, from a pale orange near the water to light purple and gray clouds higher in the sky. A faint contrail from an airplane is visible above the horizon. A line of dark objects sits further out in the water. A leafy tree branch appears at the top edge of the frame, slightly obscuring the view.
